Ancholme Leisure Centre at Scawby Brook - serving the Brigg area - remains closed until further notice during the Coronavirus emergency.
Brigg Blog thought this a good time to take a few pictures of the centre from an unusual location - the other bank of the New River Ancholme.
Strong calls to establish a public swimming pool in Brigg were made in the early 1960s, with a fund being launched. Contributors included local families who gave sixpence or a shilling a week - collected class by class in the schools.
Older Brigg residents may also remember the 'totaliser' on the front of the Buttercross, then still the Town Hall, showing how much had been raised.
Brigg Urban District and Rural District Councils, which supported the pool project, were disbanded by local government reorganisation in 1974.
However, the new Glanford Borough Council pressed ahead with the well-advanced scheme and just a year later - on May 10, 1975 - Glanford Leisure Centre was officially opened by Sir Robin Brook, acting chairman of the Sports Council.
The centre's Sports Hall was opened by Coun Terry Atherton (Kirton Lindsey), the Mayor of Glanford, on January 21, 1991. So it's 30th anniversary is not too far away.
Perhaps North Lincolnshire Council will mark this milestone in some way.
It took over local leisure facilities in 1996, including our centre and the sports hall next door, and still runs things 24 years later.
For the benefit of those readers who are too young to remember pre-decimal coinage, sixpence was 2.5p in today's money and one shilling equates to 5p. The official switch to decimal currency was made on February 15, 1971 but old coins were still accepted for 18 months after that.

Shows my age I guess but yes I can remember taking money to school and the thermometer totaliser.
ReplyDeleteMany people myself included learned to swim in the pool at Glebe rd school or there was always the river
FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUSI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had herpes virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how DR ADIGBA cured them from herpes, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR ADIGBA because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR ADIGBA via dradigba@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348077875210. he is good too to cure all type of disease and virus. 1 HIV cure 2 cancer 3 diabetes 4 hepatitis 5 herpes. You can contact if you are having any problem...
